Waddup product hunters? My startup Affistash.com just hit 25 paying customers (23 users, 2 businesses) ,so I thought I will make this post sharing my plan to grow my startup to 10k MRR with a 1$ pricing. I also have to mention that currently we are sitting at around 420 users in total. We have a free version, and the full access version is 1$ for the users, but here is the twist that I thought about : ) I would like to have an alternative revenue source, which would be listing companies on our platform for a subscription amount, and giving the companies that pay the "Best program of the day" placement, since that usually gets 4-5x the amount of upvotes. You can check it out here https://twitter.com/PiticVic/status/1612810408808652800 We recently had our first really successful campaign with one of the companies that signed up (we had 3 in total, and 1 of them canceled). The price for a placement on the platform is 37$/month, and our latest ad placement brought the company 64 new affiliates. Do you think I should charge more, considering we are only 2 weeks old? What do you think about my approach? I'm really curious on what you guys think. Cheers!

@vicdevelopmently your idea is a clever way to diversify your income streams. It sounds like this service is already generating results for the companies that have signed up, so it's worth continuing to explore this strategy. Keep gathering feedback and testing your pricing to ensure it accurately reflects the value you're providing.

@ariel_orbach thanks for the feedback Ariel! Finding a good pricing is definitely something I am looking to improve on
